Overall Satisfaction with Spiceworks

Before I started using it, I read carefully what it offered. But, I was really surprised by its features later on. I was amazed by the fact the whole internal LAN of the department was displayed in details. I could also see all the apps and programs installed on each computer, when the licences were expiring, and so on. Overall, very powerful and useful tool to manage your network and have the status updated.
  • General and detailed overview of LAN
  • Currently installed apps and programs
  • Breakdown of LAN elements by models, serial numbers, its usage.
  • Different administration credentials
  • Positive impact on having everything organized by Spiceworks.
  • Be reminded if the license expires.
  • Have an overall overview of the LAN.
Way much less complex to use and understand than Canvas 14.
I would love to use it again, but currently I am working in a private company where usage of such application is not necessarily needed since it's a small company. But if we grow up and our LAN expands I definitely recommend using Spiceworks and enhance our LAN management to the next level.

How easy or difficult is to manage your LAN by using Spiceworks?

Does Spiceworks have access to your active directory?

Can I ping computers or other LAN elements by using Spiceworks?

Can Spiceworks remind me if I have less than 10% usage space on some of the drives on the computers or if licences expire soon?
